BABU PAUL

Profile

Dr. Daniel Babu Paul, a former member of the Indian Administrative Service and the Ombudsman of Kerala, can truly be called a multifaceted personality. A writer, orator, and lexicographer, he excels in all the respective fields.

Born to Rt. Rev. Paulose Kor Episcopa, a priest of Jacobite Church and headmaster of MGM School for 32 years, and Mary Paul, a teacher, Babu Paul was brought up in strong Christian faith.

His father instilled in him the need to take pride in Indian culture. His mother indoctrinated him with the fact that fasting and prayers are the arms of a true Christian. His paternal grandmother acquainted him the world of folklore and maternal grandmother initiated him to the stories of the Bible. Babu Paul remembers that it was all that which moulded him.

Though a busy bee, he seldom misses church on Sundays and was religiously doing that for the past 25 years. Babu Paul, a senior officer of Indian Administrative Service, is a genteel minister in church's altar. He received the noblest prize a non-priest can receive, the honour of Bar Eto Briro. He is the only person from the Jacobite Patriarchies Church to get this so far.

Babu Paul's personality is such that he was a research guide, research scholar, and Ph.D. Examiner, all in same period.
